  • Top 10 Reasons for Not Celebrating this Winter

    Are we victims of mass hypnotism, glued to cheery television screens or mobile phones in an attempt to enjoy ‘the most terrible time of the year’, while evading the reality of climate breakdown and animal holocaust?


    1. We have no clue if Jesus really existed or was born today. Those of us who are sensible, don’t need any celebrity or hero worship in either case. Why not believe in developing our own powers and moral values or consciousness instead of being fixated on historic legends and lore?

    2. Santa was historically a crude symbolism of an old murderous man on a ‘wild hunt’ on his sleigh. (Later ‘Nicked’ by the cunning church and developed into the capitalistic czar of today). Vegans are against hunting and eating animals. With the poor beheaded animals on the table, Christmas appears to be more of a Satanic blood fest.

    3. Do we really enjoy winter? Fir, Pine, Holly within dangerous snow and all the cold, cough and flus are no fun. And why are tropical islands and coastal Mumbai or ‘sunny side up’ Australia celebrating winter anyways? Aping the west!

    4. Boycott Consumerism. Why waste money to make corporates rich by buying plastic toys or other things that noone really needs? From an acre of imaginary space on moon to dirty dairy chocolates and disgusting alchoholic drinks…some presents!

    5. Thought poles and economic glaciers are melting. Need reason to celebrate climate apocalypse? Instead why not plan how to manage the severe economic hardships, extreme weather emergencies and various disasters such as tsunamis that are predictable in the coming few years. Family meeting time!

    6. Has celebrating festivals done any good over the years except in a mediocre way? Giving murdered birds as presents to a few homeless and poor as a passing thought once a year is no real charity. Do any of these charities donate vegan meals? By the the time we Vegans do, Christian unethical charities have already delivered killed animals to unconcerned people.

    7. The entire base of festivals in various cultures is a display of ugly grandeur, flashy lights, wealth, fancy clothes and glamorous parties. A show of Narcissistic demonism steeped in a delusion that money is forever.

    8. Hypocrisy of ‘peace, love, warmth and kindness’ when noone actually cares about anyone else. Most neighbours could be a sorry example. Numerous people have no time to think of a poor pig or sheep either. Millions of turkeys are murdered. Those who genuinely care and spread love and light, do so all year round regardless of festivities.

    9. It is the turn of the season, a solstice. Any reason why the Summer Solstice or Litha is not so highly anticipated? Marketing! They simply needed to find a way to keep dull businesses going in dark times.

    10. Animal products are responsible for coronaviruses and several other diseases that are at their peak in dead winter. Best to stay safe. This is no time to be mingling around. Is it?

    Until and unless animal products are banished there is little peace or reason for celebrating. What with dead body parts and secretions of abused victims, sold everywhere we look!

    An appeal by a poor boy who is concerned.

    “Would you kill your own baby? Then why a pig?”
  • Veganism Coronaviruses and Other Human Diseases: Part 4 Dangers of Dairy

    Veganism Coronaviruses and Other Human Diseases: Part 4 Dangers of Dairy

    A lot has been covered in this series of articles about various diseases and pathogens related to animal products and animal farming. A special mention needs to be made regarding dairy, for the simple reason that many lacto-vegetarians, believe themselves to be morally as well as health-wise in a good enough position, while consuming dairy products when the dangers of dairy are far too many to mention or cover in one article. We have already checked on possible connection to Diabetes, Cancers, Heart Disease, Parkinsons, Autism and several other concerns in previous articles in this series.Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3.

    Dairy industry has recently been contaminated with none other than the Covid-19 strain of coronaviruses leading to deaths and infections of employees such as in a UK farm. However the dairy industry has tried to ‘fight off’ the threats from coronavirus and attempted to fool consumers into believing that dairy products are nutritonally required and may even prevent diseases such as covid-19, a claim that was debunked recently.
    A research as far back as 2013 had detected coronaviruses in dairy products studied by random sampling of 100 samples. Upon detection of rota virus and corona virus antigens researchers found that processing of several cheese, yogurts and dairy products could not eliminate rota virus and corona virus as infected milk is used due to insufficient heat treatment and bad hygienic measures.

    However covid-19 is not the only risk. Research typifies that dairy products are frequently carriers of dangerous diseases such as leukemia (cancer) viruses that can affect human cells and cause various cancers such as breast cancer (Milk of dairy cows frequently contains a leukemogenic virus, JF Ferrer, SJ Kenyon, P Gupta, Science 28 Aug 1981: Vol. 213, Issue 4511, pp. 1014-1016 DOI: 10.1126/science.6267692). In 2007 according to a USDA testing report, Bovine Leukemia Virus or BLV is present on the majority of U.S. dairy operations with more than 80 percent of small or medium herd sized dairy units contaminated with BLV while ALL OF the large herd dairy farms had tested positive BLV in their milk tanks (100 percent). As descrided in earlier articles in this series BLV can also cause several other varieties of cancers such as lung cancer too. An independent follow research in 2015 established that BLV-DNA in breast tissues was strongly associated with diagnosed and histologically confirmed breast cancer, and as many as 37% of breast cancer cases may be attributable to BLV exposure.

    According to (the obviously very poor) international hygeine standards of developed nations, pus cells allowed in milk in Europe are 400,000 per ml, in USA are 750,000 per ml and bacteria 100,000 per ml, while in Australia there are no limits. The article linked herein contains graphic details of dairy industry as well as how poo may be normal in dairy with milk recalled only if has ‘too much poo’.

    The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board of UK has stated ont their website, ‘The list of potential diseases affecting dairy cows is almost endless with some diseases more significant than others.‘ Some of the ‘more common diseases’ enlisted (with many others naturally unlisted) were Tuberculosis, Brucellosis, Pneumonia, EColi Diarrhoea, Viral Diarrhoea, Leptospirosis, Salmonella, Septicamia, morbid viral Bluetongue, unexplained bleeding calf syndrome, sexually transmitted vaginal campylobacter causing abortions, utrine endometritis infections, viral herpes and conjunctivitis, abdominal displacement and inflammation, ulcers and lameness leading to foot trimming, foot and mouth blistering infection spread through milk, meat and breath leading to death, ketosis in milk and urine, John’s stomach disease bacteria that are heat, cold an drought resistant and can survive in soil for more than a year, and even longer in water, possibly linked with human Crohn disease (infected animals shed the bacterium in manure, colostrum, and milk), flatworm liver fluke (spreads to humans), bacterian mammary dermtitis (causes lesions which have a characteristic pungent smell, a moist exudate and dermatitis which are generally at the front of udder).

    Similarly another leading study finds that dairy foods must be monitored extensively to control pathogens as they caused 14% of foodborne illness and 10% of deaths during the period of 1998–2008 in USA alone making them the second largest source of foodborne illnesses (presumably after Norovirus most commonly found in seafood and plants contaminated with animal manure). But why have humans started consuming other animal’s milk, something that no other specie is foolish enough to consume?

    Cows were not always the tame and filthy species they are currently. The now extinct Aurochs (wildoxes) are the examples of animals that cows and bulls have descended from. A major internatonal genome study cited in University College London has concluded that all cattle are descended from as few as 80 animals that were domesticated from wild ox in the Near East some 10,500 years ago. Compare that with the 80 billion land animals killed anually just for food and we know the extent to which we have degraded our environment, deforested, caused wildlife extinction, slavery, cruelty, water, land and food shortage and a plethora of diseases leading to climate change as well as possible human extinction.

    The enslavement and hybridisation of species has led to creation of our domesticated cattle used for milk production and invariably slaughtered at the end of their life for beef and leather, both of which India is well known as among the largest top exporter of. As a by-product of artificial human-aided selection process of cattle, certain characteristics needed for survival in the wild have or reduced over thousands of years, including the capacity to look after and rear their infants and provide them emotional warmth.

    They are simply changed into an artificial species like other domesticated animals such as dogs and cats have also become, incapable of living a natural life. Humans are one of those too, artificially domesticated species now who are nothing like their original primate self, but trained to be artificially omnivore, sold lies about paleolithic stoneage ‘humans’ who wore leopards and ate up giant wooly mammoths instead of wearing leaves and ferns and consuming foliage and fruit that are plentiful, migrating into inhospitable climates and destroying nature by burning fuel, deforesting wildlife and domesticating animals.

    Domesticated species such as cows, also became increasingly diseased, having lost capacity to feel for themselves, look after themselves naturally and with diarhoea, pain, infections of udders, bloating, drugs, antibiotic resistance, several pathogens and discomfort, including stress of what else but losing their own children and being killed horribly and controlled severly throughout life so as to have no sense of freedom or joy.

    Cruelty in dairy industry is rampant with infants separated traumatically from mothers who bleat over several days as their infants are sent to slaughter if male and for sexual enslavement if females. Cows are inseminated forcefully which is no different from rape and are turned to breeding and milking machines while males are also sexually abused for semen collection if not killed for veal. In states of India where cow slaughter is inconvenient due to laws prohibiting the same, they are cruelly transported to states where it is legal or to neighbouring countries and skinned alive or killed cruelly for leather and beef.

    Inspite of all this rape and cruel slaughter, dairy industry has been edified by way of religious propaganda both in the east and west to fool people to become diry consumers although humans are generaly lactose intolerant and kind people who dislike animal cruelty. The article linked herin gives a rather lucid timeline of dairy.

    Pasteurization was introduced in the 1800s due to the terrible diseases and germs caused by dairy that was destroying human health. In the late 1990s due to pressure from economic cartels of dairy industry a food pyramid recommending daily servings of dairy was advertised through media to the ignorant masses in order to fool them further. Artifical bovine growth hormones were heavily passed off with controversial initial studies declaring that they do not pose risks to human health although major risk to human health was debated.

    However leading studies explain that pasteurisation is not always effective and need not destroy all foodborne pathogens in dairy products or the contaminated biofilms or industry workers exposed to raw dairy. Basically the very practice of rearing infected and diseased animals can cause spread of germs to human beings no matter how well you pasuteurise or cook the disgusting germ-filled items sold to ignorant masses using advertising and mal-education.

    Another study mentioned in addition that fungusy dangerous moulds, mainly of species of Aspergillus, Fusarium, and Penicillium can grow in milk and dairy productsproducing mycotoxins which can be a health hazard. yet people crave the stinking smell and dangerous taste of cheese which is basically coagulated pus and germs.

    Whether through dairy and other animal products and animal manure that contaminated edible organic vegetables, humans are in danger, especially due to dairy products as described in this scientific review. For example Listeriosis may not necessarily be controlled through pasteurisation and can cause meningitis, infectious abortion, perinatal septicemia or permanent mental retardation. Dairy industry states pasteurisation kills the bacteria, but the report mentioned there is some concern that in the intracellular phase (in leucocyte) it may survive conventional pasteurization. (The entire research seems to be sponsored by animal industry as the paper states – a contribution from the College of Agriculture, University of Wisconsin-River) and seems to an example of how the ‘dairy industry’ has fought off consumer awareness through advertising and PR campaigns to brush off the sagging image and to create ‘awaress’ about how they ‘control’ the numerous pathogens found naturally in diary and how they need to take ‘more efforts’.

    Due to mastitis, a bacterial infection of udders being painful and common in over 25-60 percent of cattle, antibiotics are also injected and are passed on to humans by way of animal products such as dairy as mentioned repeatedly in various studies.

    Clearly with so many germs in the udders and inside that go into milk and urine, vaginal and anal secretions that milk may be contaminated with, should dairy be merely pasteurised or just avoided altogether, especially when some of the germs and viruses cannot be killed through pasteurisation. We do not need dairy just as no other animal species needs to consume another species milk.

    How can it be that even when common sense tells any human being that taking secretions or dead bodies of an animal and consuming them will be impure, and plants are much cleaner. When so much evidence is there for not one but a plethora of diseases – that human doctors, leading surgeons, local physicians and international celebrities still consume dairy and other animal products?

    How can it be that we trust these great doctors and scientists when they are themselves totally unhealthy consumers of animal products and unaware of very basic and simple concepts – such as killing or breeding animals is sexually abusive (rape) and murder and thus morally wrong as well as unecessary. Or that, consuming animal corpses and secretions will cause significant pathogenesis due to germs as well as deadly diseases like cancer, diabetes and heart disease? How can it be that well educated and well-established people, politicians, businesspersons, teachers, lawyers, judges, doctors and medical scientists still consume animal products in their personal life – what credibility can they have if it is common knowledge that it is wrong, unethical and gross but they still refuse to even go vegan, which is such a simple change to make conveniently in modern life? And why do schools and colleges still serve dairy and other animal products and teachers mis-training children to continue using them in daily life?

  • Veganism vs. Coronaviruses and Other Human Diseases: Part 3

    Veganism vs. Coronaviruses and Other Human Diseases: Part 3

    Coronaviruses are groups of contagious pathogens that can infect respiratory tract causing flu like symptoms. Influenza and common flu are also from animal farming and now part and parcel of our human existence as we have normalised illnesses. Various studies indicate that most flus are due to animal pathogens such as varieties of coronaviruses already existing even before the novel covid-19 strains were found.

    1. Did you know that coronaviruses were found for the first time among chickens in 1930s and then in mice and jumped to humans in 1950s and 1960s followed by pigs as per scientific research papers?
    2. Another form of coronavirus in cows, BCoV was accidently discovered by Mebus et al at the University of Nebraska in 1972. They found that vaccinated calves in dairy and beef industry developed diarrhea later than expected with rotavirus, and their feces were free of that microbe.
    3. There are many different varieties of coronaviruses linked with animal agriculture including chicken, pigs, bats and camel related coronaviruses. While science papers inform us that coronaviruses have been connected with animals for a long time they refuse to educate the public about the importance of outlawing or banning the animal farming, exploitation and trading industries that we need to achieve immediately. Animal agriculture is also responsible for variety of ailments that cause suffering and death to humans and not just immeasurable pain to animals of other species.
      Two prior articles written by this author have examined plenty of medical research evidence to demonstrate how animal products are linked with several deadly diseases. A previous article in this series touched upon Bovine mad cow disease and human versions of Jakob’s disease, animal manure infections, toxoplasmosis, brucellosis, parasitic worms, eye diseases, type 1 diabates, AIDS, rabies, acne, eczema, dermatitis, skin cancer, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, while the first article in this series discussed several pandemics, osteoporosis, arthiritis, type 2 diabetes, coronary ailments, respiratory diseases and asthma, allergic rhinitis, sinus, cough, phlegm, thyroid dysfunctions, thyroid cancer, lung cancer, prostrate cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, bovine leukemia (dairy and beef virulent cancer), ebola, H1N1 swine flu, avian flu, MERS, SARS and coronaviruses.
      But can animal products also cause brain damage, ageing and nervous impairement? Some deadly examples are as follows.
    4. Prionic diseases of nervous system caused by animal protein are, as quoted within this science report,
      ‘Transmissible, progressive and invariably fatal neurodegenerative conditions associated with misfolding and aggregation of a host-encoded cellular prion protein and include those acquired by ingesting animal protein.’
      An example of the worst of its kind is the fatal disease of Kuru: A leading research paper describes prevalent practice of Endocannibalism (the eating of relatives) that was a component of certain tribal mourning rituals, in contrast to exocannibalism (the eating of enemies), which was also practiced elsewhere. The report quotes ‘When a body was considered for human consumption, none of it was discarded, except the gall bladder, which was considered too bitter. Meat, viscera, and brain were all eaten, marrow was sucked from cracked bones, and sometimes the pulverized bones were cooked and eaten with green vegetables.’
      This is exactly how people consume animal meat in the modern world even in so called civilized society, consuming muscle tissue, nervous tissue, body parts and disgusting remains of internal organs of dead animals. As humans are also sentient animals just like any other sentient specie is, the only difference between deadly Kuru culture of cannibalism and modern supermarket meat prodicts is that the dead bodies consumed are not of animals who died naturally but are those who were killed horribly for the purpose of food production.
    5. Alzheimers: One of the more well-known ailments linked with priones is Alzheimers, a progressive neurological impairement that affects mental health, memory, cognition and brain functioning caused due to adverse protein accumulation in nervous system. Leading research found that low AGE (toxins known as advanced glycation end products) diet, composed of carbohydrates (e.g., starches, fruits, and vegetables) instead of dairy and meat is helpful in prevention.
    6. Parkinsons: While animal proteins are terrible for mental health, minimizing exposure to these foods such as heme iron, beef and dairy is justified to eliminate Parkinsons as per science reports.
      Several studies showed intake of dairy was associated with Parkinsons risk.
      Old studies also demonstrated an indirect association between intake of dairy products and risk of Parkinson’s disease. One research conducted among 57,689 men and 73,175 women from the American Cancer Society’s Cancer Prevention Study II Nutrition Cohort established that dairy product consumption was positively associated with risk of Parkinson’s disease
    7. Autism: Dairy is frequently one of the foods eliminated in autism treatment success. Researchers noted the weaning times of 145 autistic infants compared with a control group of 224 normal children and found the disease developed where the incidence of breast-feeding was less frequent.
      Another important research has proposed that chicken consumption may be a causative agent of autism, the main suspects being hormonal and other growth-promoting agents.
    8. Psychopathy, Social Bias and Aggression: People are more likely to choose relating with humans who do not consume meat. In studies among omnivorous and vegetarian participants, all participants rated vegetarian targets as more virtuous and less masculine than omnivorous targets.
      However research studies have also indicated that carnism or meat eating is connected to right-wing authoritarianism and social dominance orientation, symbolic racism and sexism.
      Research also typifies that vegans and vegetarians are also victims of cultural and social bias from omnivores and carnists who are angry with their ethical views and are judgemental or prejudiced against vegans. In a study omnivores evaluated vegetarians and vegans equivalently or more negatively than several common prejudice target groups (e.g., Blacks).
      There are several other problems too caused by animal products, but not popularly ascribed to them due to lack of awareness, for example:
    9. Varicose Veins: According to comparitive research of various possible causes, it appears that the Western diet (meat, dairy, eggs, sugar) is the fundamental cause of varicose inducement.
    10. Skin Ageing and Wrinkles: A research on several studies has concluded that and whole food plant based diet is suitable for preventing skin aging. International aggregate research on skin wrinkling has found that a high intake of vegetables, legumes and olive oil appeared to be protective while a high intake of meat, dairy and butter appeared to be adverse to skin health and ageing.
    11. Allergies and Intolerances: Research on food allergy notes that milk, eggs, wheat, fish, soy and peanuts are most often associated with high allergic reactions in childhood.
      However while schools regularly ban nuts in their premises, milk, eggs and fish products are still permitted although they cause a significant number of allergies and intolerances being not naturally suitable to human digestive system designed to consume frugivore diet of fruit and fruit like vegetables. Schools also do not teach the truth to children and continue to spread misinformation that we need animal products and omnivorism.
      The issue of animal diseases and coronaviruses is massively connected. There have been a number of diseases among farm animals that are a danger to humans as well. Simply because we breed and confine them, and murder them needlessly.
    12. Farm Animal diseases: Other lesser known forms of prionic diseases include several variants of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease described in the previous article, which belongs to a group of rare and fatal brain disorders called prion diseases, vCJD is almost certainly caused by exposure to Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) or Mad Cow Disease a prion found in cattle.
      One of them is Chronic Wasting Disease that a report mentions is a disease affecting deer, elk and other antelopes with ‘concerns about any potential for CWD to affect other species, including humans’.
      The report goes on to elaborate that cooking does not destroy prions, and ingestion of another prion, the agent that causes bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), has been linked to a fatal human neurological disease. CWD prions have been found in muscle (meat), as well as other tissues of cervids, and could enter the food supply.
      Another one is Scrapies in Sheep: In the 1940s, more than 1500 sheep developed scrapie from receipt of a vaccine against louping ill virus that contained scrapie-contaminated lymphoid tissue. Other reasons – placenta and amniotic fluid of scrapie-infected ewes when fed to sheep and feces that leads to spread. A report on transmission of scrapie to transgenic mice expressing the human prion gene (Cassard et al., 2014) suggests that there may not be an absolute barrier to transmission of ovine scrapie to humans.
    13. Deadly Plagues: Caused by the terrible smells of rotten animal flesh, dismembered body parts of slaughtered victims, human fecus and animal manure that attracted rodents and infested human world through history due to lack of hygeine, plagues are as research shows, caused by a zoonotic pathogen spread via rats. Similar lack of cleanliness and pollution of our land, air and water is caused by animal farming, animal manure and slaughter even to this day and afecting not only non vegans but vegans as well. Animal farming industries are teeming the entire planet with parasites and deadly germs including viruses that are a threat to everyone, and contaminating our delicate environment with tonnes of slaughter waste, blood and fecus every second and forcing us to be unhealthy.
    14. Hepatitis Outbreaks and Norovirus pathogens: Hundreds of pathogens are associated with animal farming and especially fishing. Consuming marine animals be deadly for human health and economy. For example shellfish are the primary cause of Norovirus causing over 80 percent of all norovirus outbreaks, and 46 percent of Hepatitis A outbreaks.
    15. Malaria and Dengue: Several scientists have explained that deforestation such as destruction of Amazon rainforests for animal agriculture could be a leading cause in vector borne diseases such as malaria and dengue that threaten life and health.
    16. Dietary misinformation: Deadly diet trends such as Atkins, Keto and Paleo diets reliant on animal protein from dairy, meats and fish are of course a danger to every human who tries it with risks of extra fat and protein clogging your arteries, gall blader and kidneys, leading to a plethora of diseases including cancers, heart diseases and diabetes as animal products are well known to cause.
      On top of all this we have coronaviruses and other pandemics that make earth unliveable even for the healthiest animals who are trying to simply because others continue to pollute the atmosphere and cause deadly toxic pathogens to be released by the unnecessary criminal industries of animal farming and fishing. The severe mental deterioration of human society prevents governments, politicians, businessmen, citizens and justice system from thinking rationally and banning animal farming which is the only sane and rational step to take.
